We continue the conversation from where Channel 4 in the UK left off after the documentary as this is a discussion that each house hold is either struggling with and or having in isolation. We (all adults) however know that we all need to dosomething about it to help ourselves and the children as it impacts our and the children’s soft skills development such as effective communication, social skills, emotional intelligence e.t.c which are all fundamental and pivotal to both our and their success. The children of today are our tomorrow’s leaders and softskills are essential to effective leadership and success but somehow, we are allowing technology and AI to slowly and gradually diminish these essential skills. We cover the following for Part 1 in this episode: How did the school identify the impacted stakeholders (#Parent, #Students and #Teachers) prior to taking the smart phones away. Focusing on how The Stanway School prepared the #parent, #teachers and #students for the experiments.
